Smart Mailer - Send mail with attachment from recordset

How do you send mail to one recipient with an attachment

You created a website where users can purchase products. You would like to send an email with the invoice attached and a purchase confirmation.

How to do it

1. Open page

   Open your asp file that will display Purchase Confirmation form. Here the user can see all the info he/she has entered and verify one last time. I assume you have a recordset and possibly session variables to hold all the info.

2. Apply Smart Mailer extension: Main

   You can find the Smart Mailer extension under Server Behaviors | DMXzone | Smart Mailer.
   There are 4 tabs: Main, Content, Attachments, Setup.
   
   Main:
   Here you can enter where the mail is coming from and where it is going to. For this tutorial I selected One Receiver.
   In the Submitting choose on any form submit. This will send the mail as soon as a user hits the submit button.
   Click on the lightning bolts for the dynamic data for the From Name and Email:
   
   

3. Apply Smart Mailer: Content

In Subject I choose to select the company name as dynamic data.
In Body I choose a template. They will get a copy of the confirmation mail in the body.



4. Apply Smart Mailer: Attachments

 Select Recordset. Choose the recordset to use and the filefield that contains the filename of the attachment.
The invoice will be send as an attachment.



5. Apply Smart Mailer: Setup

There are four components: CDO (WinXP/Win2000), CDONTS (NT4/Win2000), JMail and ASPEmail. Select the Server you are using.
I selected to use a progress bar. And a temp folder in my site for the progress bar to use.
In Redirect select the URL users will be directed to after they submit the form. In this case a thank you page.



6. Click OK

Click the OK button to apply the Smart Mailer extension. A message box will appear that the file incSmartMailer.asp and two files for the progress bar have been copied into your scriptlibrary folder. Make sure you upload the file to the server.
